coburn ends up signing on. are you leaning in that direction? >> what i said was let's see if the senate can actually produce a bill and i'm willing to look at it. i don't think the federal government should be involved with two neighbors deciding they want to change -- they want to trade shotguns. but if there is a proposal out there that can actually come to the senate floor, i'm willing to look at it -- >> is that about the only one of these gun proposals, is that the only one you're willing to look at? >> i think it's the only one that has any real chance of happening, that's why i'm focusing my efforts on what we can do in the mental health area. what we can do in sharing information among law enforcement and security agencies. you know, the -- two of the standards in all these cases is they had mental health problems and somebody in the community had told them not to come on their property, but that wasn't widely shared with others who knew they should be watching the same individual. >> roy blunt, republ

here's gop senator tom coburn, part of this group. >> i don't think we're that close to a deal, and there absolutely will not be recordkeeping on legitimate law-abiding gun owners in this country. and if they want to eliminate the benefits of actually trying to prevent the sales to people who are mentally ill and to criminals, all they have to do is create a recordkeeping, and that will kill this bill. >> so how close are they to getting something they can agree upon and potentially pass? >> i think they're closer than they've been obviously in the last 10 to 20 years. the senate has been unwilling to take up gun control legislation, so i think they're closer than they have been, but with this congress that really means absolutely nothing. for senator coburn, who is the lead republican on this, for him to be laying the groundwork to step away from this if pieces of that legislation aren't the way he wants them to be, if there is this concept of sort of universal list of who owns guns and who doesn't, that has always been just a total deal killer for republicans and moderate democrats, by
